The Tower

The tower was very impressive. We were thrilled to hear that we could go inside.

There were 6 or 7 stories to climb, each with little rooms. There was also a wall you could walk out on.  We were lucky enough to be the only people inside at the time.

The history of the tower was all in Russian. Estonia was a conquered country and 26% of the population today is Russian.

We were trying to decide what this hole was for: was it a toilet for the soldiers in the tower? Or was it used to raise and lower supplies? You decide.

The passage ways were very narrow.

We thought the views from the tower were great. We didn’t know yet that it just never ends in this town! Wait until you see the churches!
